Spectral properties of single gold nanoparticles in close proximity to biological fluorophores excited by 2-photon excitation.

Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are able to modify the excitation and emission rates (plasmonic enhancement) of fluorescent molecules in their close proximity. In this work, we measured the emission spectra of 20 nm Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs) fixed on a glass surface submerged in a solution of differen...
